The Ancient Parish of HACKNESS

[Transcribed information mainly from the early 1820s]

"HACKNESS, a parish in the wapentake and liberty of Whitby Strand; 6½ miles NW.
of Scarborough. The church dedicated to St. Peter (see Churches for photograph), is a very ancient
structure; the living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Marquis of
Annandale, and the Rev. Thomas Irvin is the incumbent. The very elegant mansion
at this place, was built by the late Sir Richard Vanden Bempde Johnstone, Bart.
Pop. 143."
